Eiffel Tower: well this one is very obvious and I had to put it on number one as no visit to Paris is complete without seeing the iron lady personally. The Eiffel tower is not only most photographed and Instagrammed places in Paris but also in the world. There are so many viewing spot for the the perfect Eiffel tower shot. You can literally view the iconic tower almost from a wide variety of location but the best and my favourite spot for the perfect picture is from Trocadero , where there is great staircase and beautiful view of the garden and the water fountains. If you are someone who hates crowd I highly recommend to visit tour Eiffel early morning as it gets really crowded with tourist during the day.
Hotel Plaza Athenee : The inner courtyard, La Cour Jardin, is a haven surrounded by sweeping curtains of greenery. The hotel is Located on Historic avenue Montaigne and is one of the top luxury hotel in Paris Plaza Athenee. The courtyard is magnificent and is definitely one of the most beautiful decors have seen in Paris and is perfect spot for cosy lunch and dinner.
location: 25 Avenue Montaigne, near the Champs-Élysées and Eiffel Tower.
Montmatre: If there’s one Parisian district I can’t get enough of, it’s Montmartre. Apart from famous Sacré-Coeur and Moulin Rouge, this cute little quintessential French town is filled with cobblestone alleys, beautiful caffe’s , vintage stores and restaurants which is perfect for great photo opps. walking on the beautiful street of this cute little village made me feel like I was walking straight in to 1950. whilst here its easy to forget you are in Paris and this one place in Paris you definitely shouldn’t miss.

Palace of Versailles: This is one place which was always on my bucket list , and definitely one should visit while in Paris. There are so many picture perfect spot in the richly decorated palace of versailles. My favourite spot in the Palace is definitely the golden gate and garden of Versailles with its meticulous manicured lawns filled with parterre flowers, espaliered hedges, manicured trees, and fantastical water fountains.
Garden of versailles is Situated to the west side of of the palace, and build on 800 hectares of land, much of which is landscaped in the classic French Garden style. Garden is open between 9.a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
Rue Crémieux: Rue Cremieux is the most charming and colorful little street of Paris. Every house on this street is painted with bright and pastel colors, some even have matching pastel colour art. This is perfect place to stock up on Instagram photos and while you are there, you can use each different colour houses as a different background making it look a different location.
Location: 12th arrondissement, between Rue de Lyon and Rue de Bercy.
P.S. Some of the houses on this street have signs of no photography and videography , so try to be respectful !

The installation is has alot of black and white columns of different heights which look like some sort of game.

The beautiful architecture of the iconic mall is art nouveau, with a remarkable central dome , perfect spot for architecture and fashion photographs.
Le printemps Hausmann : On the 9th floor of Famous Galeria la faytte has a wraparound balcony where you can find the best panoramic view of the city. This is my favourite city-gazing hot spot and best part is, its free.
